PROJECT STATUS REPORT as of 9-Feb-2010
Small Freshwater Diversion to the Northwestern Barataria Basin
PROJECT LOCATION:
St. James Parish.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Freshwater diversion/siphon from Mississippi River to northwest Barataria Basin wetlands, with gapping of spoil banks, placement of culverts under LA20, and planting of cypress and tupelo trees.
PROJECT STATUS: (Project Status Last Updated: 12-Mar-2009 )
A revised hydrologic modeling effort was recently scoped and is being negotiated with the contractor. Modeling will be able to use previously-collected data. Modeling should be complete within a year. Once complete, modeling results will be used to confirm general project feasibility, to confirm feasibility of specific project features, to possibly recommend alternate project features, refine project boundary and benefits, etc. Actual engineering and design will commence following completion of modeling and resolution of any issues that may arise as a result of modeling insights.
FUND STATUS:
The current project estimate is $2,362,687 , which includes $2,314,925 for construction first costs, and $47,762 and $0 for 20 years of monitoring and operations and maintenance, respectively.
